Family Matters

As if the Eye of Sauran were watching Rick and Michael's recent exchange, the Boston Globe responds with its own account about some aspects of domestic affairs and family matters [Download wasserman_cartoon.bmp ].

The characteristic nuances of the Globe raise a number of questions for me.

The Globe has its own view on the matter, but that should not preclude the views of others being expressed--especially when the vehicle is within the structures of representative government.   RJA sj
